Terrace RCMP is advising that the children who were the subject of a BC Amber Alert issued May 11, 2026, have been safely located and are now in care. 

Late on May 10, 2026, Terrace RCMP were advised that two children had been taken by an individual. The investigating officers determined the children were in immediate danger and a BC Amber Alert was issued in the early hours of May 11, 2025.

Within 1.5 hours of the BC Amber Alert, tips were received; the children were located in the Burns Lake area within the suspect vehicle, and two individuals were ultimately taken into custody in relation to this incident.  The investigation remains ongoing as officers continue to advance the file. The rapid and coordinated response following the issuance of the alert played a critical role in ensuring the safe recovery of the children.

“The BC Amber Alert system worked exactly as intended, and because of that, these children were located quickly and safely,” said Terrace RCMP Detachment Commander Staff Sargeant Michael Bourguignon. “We are incredibly grateful for the public’s immediate attention and willingness to assist. Their vigilance helped ensure a swift and safe resolution.”

Terrace RCMP extends sincere thanks to the public, media, and policing partners for their assistance and cooperation during the alert, which helped prioritize the safety and well-being of the children.
